Wilmer Monette

Wilmer Monette Jr., born August 21, 1947, passed away June 13, 2024, at the age of 76. A lifelong presence in the Benton area, Wilmer was known to family and neighbors as a dependable, kindhearted man who took quiet pride in supporting those he loved.

Wilmer treasured time with his family, and his visits to his daughter’s home were occasions filled with ordinary comforts — friendly conversation, familiar routines, and the steady reassurance that comes from a close family bond. Those who knew him recall a man who met life with calmness and thoughtfulness, offering practical help and companionship in ways that mattered most in day-to-day living.

A neighborly presence in the Jamestowne area, Wilmer valued the slower, important things of life: relationships, community ties, and the small kindnesses that stitch neighborhoods together. His life was shaped by steady devotion to family and by the simple dignity of being someone others could rely on.

While his passing was sudden and left his family and community grieving, those who loved him remember Wilmer for the warmth he brought into ordinary moments and for the dependable care he showed his family. He will be warmly remembered by his loved ones and neighbors who continue to honor his memory through the quiet acts of kindness he embodied.
